Mister Rogers Remix Will Make You Cry Tears of Joy [VIDEO]

On its YouTube channel, PBS Digital Studios has posted a fantastic remix that will delight fans of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Created in conjunction with John D. Boswell, AKA melodysheep, the remix helps perfectly capture the major lessons from Mister Roger's Neighborhood. For more than 30 years, Fred Rogers encouraged children to be curious and seek out discovery.

Boswell is best known for his Symphony of Science series of YouTube videos. Boswell has cited the PBS series, Cosmos as the main inspiration for the series of videos — which aims to bring scientific knowledge and philosophy to the public in a way that is entertaining and enjoyable.

PBS says that after it discovered Boswell's work, it knew it had to work with him. After finding out that Boswell was a fan of Mister Rogers, it worked with the artist to create this digital tribute.

Kevin Morrison, COO of the Fred Rogers Company commented on the video, saying,

"I think that the thing we like about the piece most of all is how it shows that Fred was reallyahead of his time. The message that it's good to be curious, to use yourimagination, and that ideas are the 'garden produce' of a fertile mindwas something he stressed throughout his career. The video alsocelebrates another 'Freddism' - we're all different in terms of whatwe're good at, but we can all make a special contribution."

This is the first in what PBS says will be a series of remixes of PBS icons.
